A gang of miscreants attacked the outlet of Om Sweets in Gurugram's Sector 46 today. Attempting to rob the cash counter, the goons fled empty-handed after opening fire at the scene.

Gurugram: A number of miscreants attacked a famous sweet shop in Gurugram’s Huda Market in an attempt to loot the shop’s cash counter. However, failing to make away with either cash or sweets, one of the goons opened fire leading to one person incurring injuries. Police officials have reached the scene and are currently trying to identify the miscreants and track them down.

The incident which took place at the Om Sweets branch in Sector 46 this afternoon illustrates a breakdown in law and order where goons roam free without the fear of consequences. Famous for its signature sweet, Dhoda, Om Sweets is a popular chain in with outlets spread across the national capital region.

Police officials said that one person was injured after the goons opened fire in frustration upon failing to rob the outlet’s cash counter. The sweets shop has at least two security guards at the gates which also raises the question as to how the miscreants managed to sneak weapons inside the outlet. In a similar incident earlier this month, a Subway outlet was robbed in Ahmedabad by intruders who made away with cash and jewellery. The miscreants stole a DVR worth Rs 8,000 and over Rs 40,000 in cash.

On the same night, goons broke into the Gwalia Sweets shop in the city's Bapunagar. They stole Rs 42,000 after entering the shop by breaking their way through a glass window. Separate cases were registered against unknown persons for breaking into the Subway outlet and the sweets shop.
